Accelerated vascular repair following percutaneous coronary intervention by capture of endothelial progenitor cells promotes regression of neointimal growth at long term follow-up: final results of the Healing II trial using an endothelial progenitor cell capturing stent (Genous R stent)™

Abstract

The HEALING II study suggests that the EPC capture stent, aimed to stimulate the coronary vascular repair response, significantly promotes late regression of neointimal hyperplasia up to 18 months after stent implantation.
